Cosmetic Recipe: Lightweight Hydrating Facial Lotion with SIMULGREEN 18-2

Instructions:

1. Heat Water Phase: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine the distilled water, glycerin, and hydrolate. Heat to 70-75°C.
2. Heat Oil Phase: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine the jojoba oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, and SIMULGREEN 18-2. Heat to 70-75°C until the SIMULGREEN 18-2 is fully melted and dispersed.
3. Emulsification: Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously mixing with a homogenizer or a high-shear mixer. Mix for several minutes until a homogenous emulsion forms.
4. Cool Down: Continue stirring the emulsion while it cools down to below 40°C.
5. Add Cool-Down Phase Ingredients: Once the emulsion has cooled, add the preservative, vitamin E, and essential oil. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
6. Packaging: Transfer the finished lotion into a clean and suitable container.

Application Recommendations:

• Apply a small amount of the lotion to clean, dry facial skin in gentle upward strokes until fully absorbed.
• Use daily, morning and night, for optimal hydration.
• Adjust the percentage of SIMULGREEN 18-2 within the recommended usage level (typically 2-5%) to achieve desired viscosity and texture. Higher percentages will result in thicker emulsions.
• The heating temperature is crucial for the proper emulsification process. Ensure both water and oil phases reach the specified temperature range.
• Cooling down the emulsion while stirring helps to ensure stability and a smooth texture.
• Always incorporate heat-sensitive ingredients like preservatives and essential oils during the cool-down phase to prevent degradation.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivities.
• Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its quality and stability.
